After years of having a TT table in my house with little room for live play and sick of the home-made return board, I decided to invest in a robot. Just a cheap TT Master 5th generation one, but something that would allow me more room at the "live" end by requiring very little room at the "opponent" end. It comes with a net and recycling feature and actually I am quite surprised at how darn fast it will shoot balls at you. I'm still figuring the settings and ins and outs of the thing, but so far I am seeing that playing against a robot actually takes its own set of TT skills. And its quite a decent workout too. The control board on this thing actually talks to you to tell you what button you pressed which is novel. I'm glad I found the way to change it from Chinese to English though, cos I couldn't understand it before :lol:

For others that have robots I am interested to know if they tend to fire the ball a bit shorter and a bit longer on the same setting. I'm finding it fires and sometimes goes long on the same setting as its sposed to hit the table with. Right now I have a rather sore index finger on my right hand as I am still getting used to getting the bat in the right place each time. The speed the thing fires at for the moment is like getting smash after smash at you, and on the BH the index finger is right in the firing line :n: ;(

Good to hear you got one Reb.

I had TT Master Gen 2 and you should have settings for speed and frequency off robot shooting TT ball's out as well you should be able to adjust were or how far robot will throw ball's on to your side of table.

It's quite normal with a robot that the ball will sometimes be shorter and sometimes be longer. The better the robot the less this deviation is.

Thanks purger and berky. Hopefully I will work it out more as I use it more.

Purger is the sidespin adjustment the angle thing at the back of the shooting head?

That's right. My Robopong 540 throws the balls not always at the exact same place. But I find that this is a natural behaviour. If you have a practice partner blocking the balls back he will be mostly not as precise as a robot. It teaches you to not fell asleep during hitting over and over again the same stroke. It teaches to be aware to each ball to adjust the stroke a little bit as it is in real practice against a real partner.

At the back as far as I remember at the back of head are adjustments for sweeping ball's over the table,you can set to cover whole side of your table or just one half and side spin is when you turn robots head in left or right side.

I think it's related to the balls too... slight differences in balls, even if they are of the same type, can result in different trajectories.

Try not to use brand new balls( powder thing), powder effects both your rubber and robot. That cause daviation...
And try not to play only with robot for 2-3 sessions. If you do that you'll struggle in a real match...

Yes to much training with robot can affect real game play.
What I used robot was to practice lifting backspin and topspin play as well return of serves.
